TUCKERS* QUALITY ONION SEED 
Sweet Spanish 
Onion seed should be sown as soon as possible in the spring, even if the weather 
is cold, just so the soil works up well. This gives the onion a good start ahead 
of weeds and before dry weather sets in. After thoroughly pulverizing the soil, 
sow 4 to 5 pounds to the acre in drills one foot apart and about 1 A inch deep. 
When 4 inches high, thin out to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows, 
keeping them well hoed and free of weeds.

hard and solid, keep well, and their beautiful
